When looking at academic performance, schools within the North Montgomery Com School Corp, specifically Lester B Sommer Elementary School, Pleasant Hill Elementary School, and Sugar Creek Elementary School, generally show higher test scores in subjects like Math and English Language Arts compared to schools in the Crawfordsville Community Schools district. Pleasant Hill Elementary School and Sugar Creek Elementary School also have strong statewide rankings, with 4-star ratings.
